Places like these NEED to be renovated!
$$$$$$
Not renovated restored
yes, somehow its part of the allure
I agree it needs to be renovated, but it a hell of a lot of many for the restoration and the up keep of it. The tax payers would go nuts if their hard earned cash went to a place that was not provided jobs in the future past the renovation. So unless you are a millionaire or billionaire or someone with an extra $5 million, then sadly this piece of history will go to ruin.
I bet one could get a great deal on that piece of property!
While viewing this i kept picturing the grand parties that were held there n the people all dressed up n dancing. Thank you so much for filming n sharing this with us. Breathtaking
I too Tammy was visualizing what it must have been like in its 'hay day' where people gathered..... wow, right?
Tammy Marshall I imagine the same things!! What grand affairs with music and laughter......
seems like good energy there
The most white girl comment thread
Kaddaz yeah what do u think the black people would be doing while the whites are partying😞
What an amazing place. Someone loved the fine things in life: art, books, culture, God...and created a beautiful home. Thank you for sharing this. I would never have been able to see something like this otherwise.
You're welcome, thank you for joining us!
This is incredible. Times when a home was a work of art and a statement of individuality as opposed to the matchstick lookalikes being built in the U.S. It's a pleasure to see this. Thanks.
@Ralph Goober - That's what I was thinking. A Nancy Pelosi of that time lived here.
@@UrbexTyrol plus all the statues are removed as well ,you noticed as you walked up stairs .
It is mind-boggling to me that a magnificent structure such as this has been left abandoned to wrack and ruin. There are so many amazing details in this place: the staircase; the intricate ceilings; the grand hall; the plastered frescos; absolutely everything! I cannot comprehend why someone with means does not restore this stunning building to her former glory. Five million does not seem to be an exorbitant amount of money to pay for the grandeur and the history of such a majestic lady! Thank you so very much for taking us along, and sharing the splendor.💐
It would take a lot of money indeed to restore such a place. It would take a very, very wealthy person to do it, perhaps several wealthy people. It would not be an easy job. Just finding the right skilled people to work on it would be a challenge. You would not want to hire just anyone to do it. Ever heard of the film called The Money Pit? It was a comedy about a couple who bought a home and tried to restore it. You cannot even be sure just looking at outside walls how much work has to be done. Usually, there is a lot of work that needs to be done that you would never suspect until you began to work on it. Places like these were built by the fabulously wealthy in ages of excess. Descendants now cannot afford to keep up such places. The costs are enormous. They are not self-supporting structures in any sense. I suspect it could easily take 10 or even 20 years or more of slow, painstaking restoration to fully restore a place like this.
Maybe the location is bad ?
@@larainejones4641 its next to a beach.
We spent 7 years rehabbing a 1860's home on a city park in the heartland of the United States. We did all the work ourselves, and whenever I look at a home like this, my heart soars at the potential, and I cry when I think of all the work and money that will go into the project. People have no idea how much goes into redoing a home like this. And then there is the upkeep.... It never ends....
For this place to have its own chapel makes me think this home belonged to a royal family at one time. It is so large and the paintings on the ceilings, plus the pully system from the kitchen lead me to believe this as well. So beautiful.
Must have been a magnificent home in its heyday, certainly for nobility. I love that staircase.
The "big hall" is a ball room, which would be the most luxurious room of the manor. It is where they would flaunt their money and status. The balconies are so that guests and family members ( especially under aged teens ) could watch while the adults danced. Also, the orchestra would be situated up there.
I think you are badly informed.
@@splitraven7060 "...referred to as Great meaning 'Big' ( not excellence)...this also differentiated if from Great Halls in POST MIDEVIL TIMES.
This home was erected in the 18th Century....I think that is POST....
So by you commenting on another persons description, calling them misinformed (?)...to the extent of supplying a link to Wikipedia....
All you did was prove their point....
There's an old saying...
ITS BETTER TO KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND LET PEOPLE THINK YOU'RE STUPID....
THAN TO OPEN IT AND PROVE IT.
@@elizabethferguson7002 great answer. Can I borrow it? I have found many occasions where I can use that quote on TH-cam. Lol.
@@elizabethferguson7002 I been telling this to 18 and life Satan all the time lol.
Your right this meaning is for him.
Out of All the mansions this one took my breath away the age of it l can never stop loving it the grand halls to the high ceilings
I love this place..the enormous artwork display and the small chapel too. The stairs are awesome.
If I had all the money in the world, I would buy that place in a heartbeat and restore it to its original glory. What a gorgeous house with gorgeous handiwork. My heart was just aching to be there while watching this.
The most impressive abandoned-building video I've seen. Where do we think our big McMansions will be in even 50 years? 150 years? Ha! Wealth is so easily lost or transient. Thank you for sharing this.
This place is beautiful. Do you know its history? Who were the original owners? When was it abandoned? Who owned it then? What was it used for?
Living there must have been like a dream
totally!
Dead bat is not good. Bad omen.
Facts you can invite everyone you know over , and then everyone they know and still have a little room left lol 🤣
@@UrbexTyrol i bet this was a slave masters house
Usually in history those mansions were all but dream, greed, jealousy, immorality, selfishness, and finally murders.
Absolutely "jawdroppingly" beautiful! Breathtaking! The craftsmanship and architecture....goegeous! It would be like living in a fairytale and writing your own time period stories every day! Amazing to have your own Chapel for praying, quiet reflection, worship and just a time of serenity. I imagine you would feel close to God in there. The acoustics would be amazing!! Thanks from the States for sharing!!
Try comparing this to Mar-a-Largo. Impossible, this is beauty and taste, that is not!
YOU CAN FEEL CLOSE TO GOD ANYWHERE THERE IS SOME QUITE TRANQUILITY.
I think this is the most beautiful abandoned mansion that I’ve seen. Wow!!
So weird to be in what looks like pretty good shape...a testimonial to builders from 1700s....wow! Why is it empty?
Honestly I don't know why it's empty, but if I had to guess I'd say because it's just too expensive to live in such a home.
After the Fall of the Hapsburg Dynasty these buildings were still in use by descendents of their heirs, but many were forced to provide these buildings during the time of the German Unification by the Nazis. Regrettably there were also many of these exquisite homes saw the Nazis demanding use of the buildings for uses such as local Wehrmacht or SS headquarters. There were obvious locations where marble statues and paintings were located, These artworks, along with the furnishings were frequently removed from the House and the Nazis placed these in safer locations to prevent their destruction. Sadly many of these great homes have been left empty for decades, but this can be restored and have hundreds of years for its use.
Overall the frescos and architectural elements remain, and when you might think that the paintings were disappointing these walls and ceilings were spared the weight of the marble. Gravity with large variances in temperature and humidity could have created structural failures. Not a cheap refurbishment, and I would hold back from attempting to re-create what must have been here in the past, as the costs are far too exorbitant to all but the very wealthy, and the costs of heating, installation of insulation, and the kitchen/bathroom structures would set the buyer back at least another $5M (USD).
Can you tell me where this is located, please? I could research this wonderful home and provide more accurate information. Thank you for the tour! Fröliche Weinachten!
Do you know where this palace is located?
The upkeep in these homes are ridiculous . A friend years ago had inherited a large home in scotland . A mansion you can definitely call it . No way you can afford the utilities where if your lucky would be 20,000 a month or more .All I knew from the last I spoke to her they were trying to sell it . Because no way could they afford it . And they were by no means poor either
ghost!
Afraid there are no plans in my middle class future for that magnificent mansion. Just have a huge appreciation for such fine workmanship and history.
Me neither would be great though
Wow! It’s absolutely gorgeous! Why are there so many of these breathtaking mansions just rotting away? I wish they could be restored as schools, a music conservatory, university, movie sets, luxury apartments, museums-something beneficial and not left to just rot away and be vandalized until they collapse. This great room is exquisitely decorated; you can almost see the people dressed in period clothes, and hear baroque music under chandeliers blazing with candles. The stories these walls could recite... I wish I had the money to fix it up and turn it into something worthwhile.
Well such a place is really expensive to maintain, not many people can afford that. Then the owners usually want far too much money for the place, which means it's hard to sell and finally a potential buyer usually can't do what he wants with it, since buildings that old are usually heritage protected sites, which means you can't do certain things with it, like changing floor plans and stuff.
i'm guessing owned by THE STATE. Socialist Bureaucracy that hates Western Civilization and Culture. they hold it hostage.
Kira de La Rochefoucauld to my knowledge this place is still privately owned
thanks. i did read that in the comments. felt bad for mine, but i'm sure it happens. taxes etc.
@@kiradelarochefoucauld7499 socialist came from the west ,answer France you moron. western civilization is the Roman empire destroyed by barbarian Germanic tribes you moron.
Gorgeous; built with NO electric tools....!!! Simply spectacular....
The craftmanship is superb. It's so sad that all this artistry & hard work will be gone one day.
Too bad such mansions don't find a buyer (pricey to restore) to preserve the beauty of it all for later generations.
Thank you, Urbex Tyrol for doing the legwork & videotaping for us.
I believed this is the most beautiful mansion I have ever seen. i am glad it is not destroyed with graffiti etc. If it was here in america it would have to be guarded..... Thanks for showing it to us....
WHO LIVED HERE IS THE FIRST QUESTION AND WHO WERE THE BUILDERS? OMG I LOVE THUS
You cant find fine craftsmanship like this anymore😐
I can just picture this mansion back in the day. Still a beautiful find. Thank you 😊
my god..what a beautiful building..a shame its going to rot away..shurly they could be saved and put to good use.?x
A touch up with paint and would be a perfect place to shoot a Victorian movie. Beautiful 🌸🌹🌺🌼🌷
Always amazed at the craftsmanship and beauty of the places you select. The stairway is incredible Thank you.
Such a beautiful mansion. I would love to know the history. I just love it.
stairway looks new from 1900s how did they made this good looking ???
What a magnificent structure, the architecture is stunning.. You can't find this anymore. Such beautiful history.. How I wish I lived in those days ❤️❤️❤️
So beautiful, to think people lived here wow!!
Wow! a trompe l' oeil master artwork wow! so glad you found this without any vandalism . Thank you for sharing.
Thank You!
There aren't enough words to describe this magnificent home. I can only imagine what it looked like in its prime! Such a shame it's wasting away. Smh
Urbex Tyrol The great hall was the Ballroom...very important to the wealthy of the past. Can you please say where this building is located? It should be kept safe for the history of the time and place in which it was built. It's an extraordinary structure. It would be wonderful to know the stories of this beautiful building! Time eventually destroys all things. I wish I had millions so I could have it restored to it's original splendor. Thank you for sharing this for all to see! kl
Another abandoned treasure, Thanks for the tour!
Doug Simerly yip yip yop
setup. ballroom, dining room, library for the men after dinner, ladies room & dresssing room was pink. music room and Chappel on first floor.
This place is GORGEOUS!!!! How I wish I could explore it. (I'm sad for the little bat, though.) I hope someone can restore it; it needs a family. Thanks so much for showing us around! Happy New Year!
I'll never see that much money in my life but I wish I did I wouldn't mind living in such a beautiful building it's so lovely it's a shame no one's looking after it and it's being banded cuz it's truly a work of art
One can only imagine the beauty when it was occupied. Furnishings, etc. It would take MILLIONS to refurbish. And lots of maids to keep with vacuuming...after I move in. LOL
I’ll be a maid!! Lol
Why in the world would ppl want to abandon such a stunnig home?? Its absolutly beautiful.and the grand hall was maybe a ballroom or sometimes used for garte big dinner. Partys?? With a huge grande solid wooden table? I can picture every room with the lavish furnishing with wich thay. Used ... I would ABSOLUTELY love to make my home in a place like this it like an absolute dream...(p.s thank you for theb places you show us, your channel is excellent i love it keeep up the good work. As the places tou find are amazing ok thankd....lv and ✌ peace Danielle ✌✌✌👍👍👍
The main hall was painted? Absolutely breathtaking!!
yeah everything is there was just painted on the walls, except for the windows of course
Remarkable how it is still in as good of condition that it is. For as old as it is one would think the decay would be much worse. Beautiful...Thank you.
I bet all the artisans who did the wonderful plasterwork and built those stairs are turning in their graves to see it like this. Youd think there would be at least one banker with his bonus who would do something useful with it and bring this place back to life. Brilliant video.
How absolutely breathtaking!! I am also so happy to see it hasn’t been vandalized! Thank you sooo much for this video, this is incredible!!!💖💖💖
That place is magnificent!
Someone spared no expense on this place!! It's Stunning!! But would have liked to see more of it like the kitchen area or dining hall...
If i was rich i would want to restore this place!! It should never be in ruins or left to rot..JS
Makes one wonder what kind of people lived there, were they kind? What kind of life did they live? Did they have children who played in those rooms or running the halls??
Thanks for sharing a piece of history from your country ❤
Would love to know the history? Can you imagine sweeping and mopping just one room? Fit for a King
But who used to live there who built it I just want to know who used to live there it is nice I just want to know who used to live there how many people lived in that have for how many family
The purpose of that Great Hall was to awe and impress any who entered. I’d say from the looks of it, that astounding room did just that. And, of course, it functioned as the “gateway” to other parts of the house. That was usually the case. What a magnificent structure is this mansion. So glad I came across your channel. Cheers.
What a stunning home it would have been in its peak, a really beautiful Georgian mansion, one of my most loved periods of history. Great vid.
Thank you, glad you liked it!
It is not "Georgian". I would suspect it is somewhere in Central Europe.
It is this type of place that I really enjoy seeing the inside of. When architects really created a grand mansion. Instead of these places you see today.
very beautiful they should be restoring this and preserving this history. amazing arcitecture thank you for sharing this
If those walls could only talk! Could you imagine! The stories that would unfold amazing time capsule of antiquity architecture you do not get to see this everyday
Thank you
Stunning. Just came over from Josh's recent video. This is the first of your videos I've seen. What a fantastic mansion. Those painted walls really trick the mind. Whoever did them was a true artist. Love the choice of music. Really fit the video
Cheers from Northern Michigan
Heather Canale thank you for coming by! :D
Yes! You never see this type of artistry in modern homes!
Wow so beautiful! Great find and video!
I've watched a lot 9f abandoned videos and this one is THE MOST Beautiful ever!!!!!😀💞
Im a retired house painter, and this is an a Amazing place. A small crew could spend a year in there, let alone the artistry that would have to be done. This is a place that should be restored.
Absolutly breathtaking. Thank you so much. I live in the southwest desert area of U.S. and could never hope to see such a sight if not for these videos.
Thanks, yeah I'm glad to show these places to others!
We must bring back 1700s architecture, and interior designing.
That is unreal. How long has it been empty. Whats the history
Thank you! So beautiful and not ruined by vandals and graffiti!
Other than death how could somebody possibly abandon a place like this? How sad
Not enough money, the upkeep of such a place must be enormous.
Yes. Too much money to maintain especially in todays world. Just imagine property tax and utilities
Exactly. It is impossible to heat rooms like this. They will always be cold in cold weather and possibly even chilly in hotter weather. Then there are the grounds to consider. What about the cost of plumbing and keeping electrics functioning properly. It would be virtually impossible to retrofit a place like this with central air and heat. Just CLEANING it would be like painting the Forth Bridge. A place this large needs a staff of servants and grounds keepers to keep it functional. Places like this were being lost by the 19th century and definitely by the 20th century. Those owners who could not reinvent their estates to modern economies lost them. This is a relic, albeit a beautiful relic, of a bygone age. Once men and women had employment choices, they no longer needed to go into service. In fact, estate owners increasing found it harder and harder to get and to keep "good help." No one family can operate an estate this large on their own. As it has not been converted to a museum or some such, it is not surprising that it is empty. Read your history! If that is too much to ask, at least watch Downton Abbey for a very good historical treatment of the great homes and the families that once ran them.
He was talking about the entrance or the "great hall" as they were called. In that era whether it Europe or in U.S., status and money meant everything so when wealthy people built these masterpieces the great halls were built to make a huge statement to those guests upon entering. I love this stuff these guys do it is amazing! Thanks so much
Amazingly beautiful this place is art and you did awesome video congrats !!!!! And thank you so much for share your talent doing this video👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✋️✋️✋️👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝☺️☺️☺️💙💙💙🌻🌻🌻🍀🍀🍀
As always thank you for your kind words!
Impressive- history speaks for itself!

exploration truly large &
elaborate mansion .. yess
Exploring With Josh l
Lynnewood Hall is the place you're talking about - I think?
Please don't encourage people to go there and trespass, all you'll get from it is people who will destroy it.
Someone buy this, restore, I would if had the millions.
Wonder if that grand entry hall used to be the entry for coaches to let guests off.Many old palaces had that feature, so guests didn't have to disembark in inclement weather but inside where it was safe and dry. Maybe it was later converted to a regular entry hall . Beautiful old place.
Loved it, you always find such beautiful places to make videos. Thank you so much!
the beauty of this place is truly breathtaking
What a beautiful place! If this was in the United Snakes, it would be completely trashed! So nice to see it with no graffiti and still in good condition! Thanks!
Yes . I agree . Their was a beautiful mansion in Vaughn , ontario . Within a year on youtube having the word out . Explorers all over destroyed in . And the last was by exploring with Josh I saw which by then it was already only suited for demolition after the city saw what occurred :(
Ontario is in the United States? Who knew?
The Rev. Bob Channel you’re right unfortunately! I have seen so many beautiful mansions and estates destroyed by trespassers stealing decor and spray painting the walls! Just very sad to see!
Kana Michelle lol ya really so I guess he meant to say if it were in Canada.
grattiti and trashing usually done by kids, teens or college age. Real explorers are interested in seeing the beauty and fine details
Beautiful and dreamy 💖 homes today have nothing on the homes from way back when. So much detail
Thank God it hasn't been tagged up.
These older buildings seems to be made better than the more modern ones today. No water damage, no collapsed ceilings. Everything seems sturdy.
Whoever did the paint work did a _phenomenal_ job with it! Just looking at it, you'd have no idea any of the hall was painted on and not real unless you get right on in.
Such a beautiful house, and it looks like it's still quite livable! Hate to see it sitting abandoned and rotting away. So sad.
So much beauty, excess and luxurious waste... going to such beautiful and utter waste.
Simply renovating this place would take a fortune... but it would be worth it.
So much of the cabinetry, windows and doors are surprisingly in fairly good condition considering. The stairs rails and balusters are all in very good condition.
How long has it sat derelict I wonder? It definitely was built solidly. The paint and plaster in so many of the rooms looks wonderful as if you could just clean it and bring it back to it's full glory. Someone needs to restore this place before another hundred years passes and it is too late.
Imagine converting this into several high end individual leased living spaces. Four individual flats with shared communal areas like the main entry hall, library, church and gardens. Completely refurbished in it's original splendor with updated amenities of course. It would be pretty prestigious living.
Whoever owns the property should consider the value to be found in it yet.
I understand it's a monumental task and will take some skilled craftsman and an unimaginable amount of resources and a lot of perseverance to see it completed... but you find the right channels to network.
Some investors someplace might deem it a worthwhile endeavor.
I don't even know the history of the place... or those who built it.
But just seeing this... I want to.
What a loss if it is left to ruin.
really enjoyed this video, beautiful building. The stairway was amazing.
+Terry Rush thanks!
Beautiful. Home. I can imagine living here in the 17th century .
Gorgeous simply gorgeous!
If only I had lots of money to buy and restore this. BEAUTIFUL!
Wow. What an awesome place. Great find. I am going to subscribe because of this vid. Really good camera work and lighting. Unlike most exploration videos people do, I felt like I was standing there with you looking around. Thanks for sharing .
Whoever painted the grand hall was an amazing artist. That staircase is a contra lever staircase meaning it is perfectly balanced and nothing is holding it up. Amazing carpentry work. It’s too bad many of these old world homes are left to the elements.
How recently was the house occupied? I saw some fairly modern looking electric lights and plumbing fixtures.
Yes it's maybe around 20 years abandoned now
Everything is hand made and crafted. It takes a lot of hard work from one individual. A lot of sweat blood and tears went into building a beautiful place like this. Especially when they had limited resources and equipment.
Such an awesome video! I know you can't give away where this is but judging on the architecture and the artistic motifs it must be northern Italy? I hope they find someone to restore it soon. It's videos like this where you realize its not JUST exploring abandoned spaces but also bringing somewhat of an awareness to a place that has been too long neglected. If I had $5 million I would ask you to tell me ;) Thanks for sharing this!
Thank-you for posting the video. What an absolutely beautiful mansion. It didn't need furniture, the detail work was so outstanding! Fantastic...
sad to see these places go to waste !!
They had their own chapel. Hauntingly beautiful.
This is a beautiful place! It's more like a palace than a mansion. Where is this place and what country is it in?
Thank you for taking your time to film the beautiful details slowly. Your voice with the music is quite soothing... Cheers!!
What would it cost to Renovate this to it's former glory? Sad to see things like this deteoriate to dust...
Don't know, but I'd guess you have to invest the amount you bought it for again for renovation.
OMG ,this mansion is wonderful and very valuable ,is a part of history,only need to be renovated,why can not we appreciate it???? So sad !!!
Did you try to get permission from the caretaker first?
There is a caretaker, and a dog. This place is empty, not abandoned. It still belongs to someone who pays the bills. Taxes etc. The building is still an asset. Don't forget this, please.
Beautiful place, nice photography, adjustment of light levels is very helpful. Thanks.
What a beautiful structure! It is such a tragedy for such wonderful places are left to rot ,crumble and fall apart. I wonder if the current owner would consider people touring this marvelous place.It's worth the thought and could bring in some much needed revenue to help restore to its former glory.
Good tour. Any way to find out the history of these places, who lived there and what happened to them? So sad but understandable the expense must have been huge.
Well not all buildings have a well documented history, since they were just the homes of the noble families back then. Nothing happened to them, but with the privileges of nobility gone during the 20th century they couldn't afford the upkeep and moved somewhere else.
The wonderful banquets, the fantastic balls, the grand life that would have been lived here. The building must be restored .
beautiful from what I could see. you need more lights😃
Yes that was half blobby black screen.
This is absolutely amazing. It truly needs attention and needs tended to daily.
Why would anyone abandon this?? It's beautiful!!
Money. The cost of heating and upkeep could have been too much. Or it could have been just one old person left, which would be very lonely and difficult. It would be interesting to know why.
The upkeep alone on this home could be close to a million a year! You would need a huge staff to upkeep the home and grounds!
Great video.. a lovely house & a beautiful stair case. Can only imagine how beautiful it was when it was occupied.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Wow, where is this? How come it's abandoned? It's beautiful!!!
I'm in awe struck seeing that beautiful mansion....I just couldn't stop imagining how beautifully the mansion really looked before in the past...thank you for sharing .... 💓
this is fantastic THANK YOU
Giusi Mastro thanks!
The elegant parties they used to have in this place, I can only imagine. The big hall you entered into may have been the ball room where the dancing took place. Can you think of the food spread out, on long tables and the drinks flowing around the room. Along with the ladies and gentlemen in their finery. Wow. I wish they would fix it up and make a bed or breakfast out of it and that way money would be coming in for the up keep. Thank you for showing this one to us. my imagination went wild with what you could do in that place.
